One day style gan will be used to recreate pornography and with all its weird anomalies the outcome will be truly horrifying.

Goodness knows there’s plenty of porno training images out there.

They all got beaten because Apple and google thrashed them in all the ways that mattered.

Apple really has locked down its ecosystem.

It’s kinda depressing that there isn’t more choice and competition in the mobile space. Your choices are Android and apple.

A huge number of developers at Amazon and Google are clapping their hands with glee when the read this…. It’s their jobs to get exactly this outcome. They’ll show your post to the boss to lock in their bonus.

This is the prime purpose of these gigantic companies. Of course it works like that.

The smartest software developers in the world dedicate their working lives to advertising.

How do farmers feel about these harvester companies?

But presumably they’re not banning coal powered electricity stations, they’re focusing on banning ….. gaming PCs.

What about air conditioning, heaters, houses without insulation…. All banned?

The most toxic device on the internet is the downvote.

It’s nothing more that a “criticize” button, or perhaps “attack”, “belittle”, “devalue”.

Downvotes make people feel hurt belittled and attacked.

Nothing wrong with upvoting - that’s positive.

Downvoting destroys all good will.

And of course so clever and funny here in HN this comment gets downvoted, which proves my point. The downvote is the tool of the drive by vandal. It allows people to behave like a dickhead anonymously and at no cost.

It’s the nature of humanity. Frankly the sooner we wipe ourselves out, the better it will be for whatever other species remain.

But on the face of it these terms don’t seem onerous or unusual or would raise a red flag for the founder?

Hmm I’m not sure I can’t see it explained on their website, presumably for employees.

My question to you….. did you START with passion drive enthusiasm and a sense of inherent drive? Has that now been replaced with the desire to succeed primarily for money?

If yes than that’s fine.

Maybe it’s even good, or better than your previous motivations.

All the tech people in this thread arguing how it makes no difference technically where the data resides etc etc. really guys can you not think further than that? It’s simple and obvious the Indian government is exercising total control over its affairs. Naming technical distinctions completely misses the point.

This is not a technical issue and has zero to do with tech. It’s political.

I was really tuning in to the concepts but he completely lost me when all the examples used math and trigonometry.

I loathe teaching of programming through math and trig. I feel using math and trig to teach programming is a bigger barrier than anything else.
